TWO teenagers have been found guilty of aggravated burglary after a raid on a Midland post office which left the postmaster badly injured.

A jury at Worcester Crown Court yesterday found Malcolm Hitchings and Steven Lloyd guilty of the attack on Alan Davis.

The incident at Hanley Swan, near Malvern, Worcestershire, last August left Mr Davis needing two brain operations.

Hitchings and Lloyd, both 19, of Waterloo Place, Aberdare, south Wales, will be sentenced later this year on a date yet to be fixed.

They had denied aggravated burglary, inflicting grievous bodily harm and perverting the course of justice by setting on fire the car used in the raid.

Det Insp Graham Smith, of West Mercia police, who headed the investigation, said: "This was a very difficult and frustrating case involving criminals travelling considerable distances - at times on a daily basis - from South Wales to commit crimes in south Worcestershire."
